Shaktyavesh Avatar (Devanagari: , IAST: ') is a type of incarnation, avatar, of Lord Krishna. "Whenever the Lord is present in someone by portions of His various potencies, the living entity representing the Lord is called a śaktyāveśa-avatāra — that is, an incarnation invested with special power."〔Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta Madhya 20.373 | http://vedabase.net/cc/madhya/20/373/en〕 Unlike other avatars which are amsas, expansions, or amsaamsa, expansions of expansions of the Lord Himself, a shaktyavesh avatar is when the Lord empowers a living entity, jiva, with the potency of God Himself. Shakti means Power; Avesha means endowed; Avatar means one who descends from the spiritual realm, incarnation. The following description of the various types of avatars is given in the ancient Garga Samhita. It is stated in the Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta Madhya 20.246 〔Sri Caitanya Caritamrita | http://vedabase.net/cc/madhya/20/246/〕 and also in that same chapter it is stated: 〔Sri Caitanya Caritamrita | http://vedabase.net/cc/madhya/20/en〕 ==See also== * List of founders of religious traditions 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shaktyavesha Avatar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
